[000:00:26;07] PELOSI ARE SAYING THIS IS A
[000:00:27;13] MANUFACTURED CRISIS.
[000:00:28;00] THEY ARE BASICALLY ACCUSING YOU
[000:00:29;25] OF LYING ABOUT THE BOARDER.
[000:00:30;23] >> WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS TAKE A
[000:00:32;13] LOOK AT LAST NIGHT AND SEE THE
[000:00:33;26] RESULTS THIS MORNING.
[000:00:36;28] THE PEOPLE KNOW WE NEED BORDER

[000:01:10;05] >> MR. PRESIDENT, MR. PRESIDENT,
[000:01:12;14] MR. PRESIDENT, ARE YOU WORRIED
[000:01:14;05] ABOUT REPUBLICAN DEFECTION?
[000:01:15;20] >> I WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE A
[000:01:17;25] VERY, VERY UNIFIED PARTY.
[000:01:19;17] MITCH HAS BEEN FANTASTIC.
[000:01:22;08] EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM WAS
[000:01:23;08] FANTASTIC.
[000:01:23;19] THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME EVEN
[000:01:24;22] TO BE THERE.
[000:01:25;16] I KNEW THAT BEFORE WE LEFT.
[000:01:28;09] BUT THE REPUBLICANS WANT BORDER
[000:01:30;01] SECURITY.
[000:01:30;14] THEY WANT NATIONAL SECURITY.
[000:01:32;11] THEY WANT TO HAVE A STEEL
[000:01:33;23] BARRIER OR A WALL OF CONCRETE,
[000:01:36;25] THEY DON'T CARE I WILL USE ANY
[000:01:38;10] TERM THEY WANT WE NEED A
[000:01:40;25] BARRIER, TO STOP THE HUMAN
[000:01:43;11] TRAFFICKERS, AND THE DRUG TRADE,
[000:01:44;17] AND TO STOP ALL OF THE BIG
[000:01:45;27] PROBLEMS THAT COME, INCLUDING
[000:01:46;25] GANGS, THEY DON'T COME THROUGH
[000:01:47;27] YOUR CHECKPOINTS, THEY COME
[000:01:49;15] THROUGH AREAS WHERE YOU ARE
[000:01:52;18] HUNDREDS OF MILES WITHOUT WALLS
[000:01:53;11] AND WITHOUT BARRIERS OR WITHOUT
[000:01:55;25] STRONG FENCES SO THE REPUBLICAN
[000:01:58;09] PARTY, I CAN SAY, AND I JUST
[000:02:00;13] LEFT AN HOUR MEETING, WE HAD A
[000:02:02;19] GREAT TIME ACTUALLY THERE WAS
[000:02:04;26] NO DISCUSSION ABOUT ANYTHING
[000:02:07;06] OTHER THAN SOLIDARITY.
[000:02:08;02] WE WANT NATIONAL SECURITY.
[000:02:10;01] AND BORDER SECURITY.
[000:02:11;07] FOR OUR COUNTRY.
[000:02:13;18] >> MR. PRESIDENT, MR.
[000:02:14;27] PRESIDENT --
[000:02:15;11] >> LET ME JUST ADD, MR.
[000:02:18;01] PRESIDENT, FIRST OF ALL, THANKS
[000:02:19;14] FOR COMING OUTS AND I THINK THE
[000:02:22;05] PRESIDENT ACCURATELY
[000:02:23;02] CHARACTERIZED THE PRESIDENT, WE
[000:02:24;00] ARE ALL BEHIND THE PRESIDENT, WE
[000:02:25;11] THINK BORDER SECURITY IS
[000:02:26;23] EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE
[000:02:28;29] COUNTRY.
[000:02:29;09] WE APPRECIATE IT.
[000:02:29;25] >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[000:02:30;26] >> MR. PRESIDENT, MR. PRESIDENT,
[000:02:33;20] WHY NOT DECLARE A NATIONAL
[000:02:35;23] EMERGENCY?
[000:02:36;04] >> I PLAY DO THAT AT SOME POINT.
[000:02:38;14] IF CHUCK AND NANCY, WHO ARE
[000:02:41;05] MEETING I BELIEVE IN A LITTLE
[000:02:42;16] WHILE, IF THEY DON'T AGREE TO
[000:02:43;28] THE FACT THAT OUR COUNTRY IS
[000:02:46;10] REALLY GOT PROBLEMS WITH CRIME,
[000:02:47;29] WITH DRUGS WITH A LOT OF OTHER
[000:02:49;14] THINGS THAT COME THROUGH OUR
[000:02:50;20] SOUTHERN BORDER, SO MUCH OF IT
[000:02:52;29] COMES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
[000:02:53;26] BORDER YOU LOOK AT HEROIN, 90%
[000:02:56;18] THROUGH THE SOUTHERN BORDER, SO
[000:02:58;11] MUCH SO MANY PROBLEMS, AND IF
[000:03:01;17] THEY CAN'T GET THAT THROUGH, OR
[000:03:04;24] IF THEY FEEL THAT POLITICALLY, I
[000:03:06;23] DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS GOOD
[000:03:08;25] POLITICALLY, I DON'T CARE
[000:03:09;22] POLITICALLY, I'M DOING WHAT IS
[000:03:11;03] RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY, BUT I'M
[000:03:12;13] TELLING YOU IT IS A VERY BAD
[000:03:13;26] POLITICAL ISSUE FOR THE
[000:03:14;22] DEMOCRATS, THAT, I CAN TELL YOU.
[000:03:16;18] >> MR. PRESIDENT, DID ANY
[000:03:18;24] REPUBLICANS TODAY IN THAT
[000:03:19;21] MEETING TELL YOU THAT THEY WANT
[000:03:20;18] YOU TO PURSUE A DIFFERENT
[000:03:21;28] STRATEGY, THAT THEY WANT YOU TO
[000:03:22;27] REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT?
[000:03:23;29] >> WE TALKED ABOUT STRATEGY, A
[000:03:27;11] COUPLE, A COUPLE TALKED ABOUT
[000:03:28;09] STRATEGY, A COUPLE TALKED ABOUT
[000:03:29;19] STRATEGY, BUT THEY'RE WITH US
[000:03:30;18] ALL THE WAY.
[000:03:31;14] THEY'RE WITH US.
[000:03:32;12] >> MR. PRESIDENT MR.
[000:03:33;12] PRESIDENT --
[000:03:33;25] >> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO, WITH
[000:03:36;15] THE FAKE NEWS, I JUST WANT TO
[000:03:38;09] TELL YOU, THE REPUBLICANS ARE
[000:03:40;03] TOTALLY UNIFIED.
[000:03:41;04] NOW, IF YOU WERE TO ASK THE SAME
[000:03:42;25] QUESTION TO THE DEMOCRATS, YOU
[000:03:46;13] LET ME KNOW IN SOME OF THOSE
[000:03:48;07] DISTRICTS WHERE I WON, OR THAT
[000:03:49;19] ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARDS
[000:03:53;08] SANITY, YOU WANT THEM TO RUN
[000:03:56;26] SAY WE DON'T NEED BORDER
[000:03:59;20] SECURITY YOU HAVE A LOT OF
[000:04:00;28] DEMOCRATS WHO DON'T WANT TO BE
[000:04:01;25] IN THIS BATTLE, YOU HAVE A LOT
[000:04:03;06] OF DEMOCRAT, THE REPUBLICANS ARE
[000:04:05;00] UNIFIED, WE WANT BORDER
[000:04:06;10] SECURITY, WE WANT SAFETY FOR OUR
[000:04:07;21] COUNTRY, AND YOU KNOW, FOR 25
[000:04:09;03] YEARS, THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO
[000:04:10;25] THIS.
[000:04:11;11] THIS HAS BEEN PASSED.
[000:04:13;05] CHUCK SCHUMER HAS RAISED HIS
[000:04:14;18] HAND SO MANY DIFFERENT TIMES,
[000:04:16;00] CHI GIVE YOU 15 SPEECHES, I
[000:04:18;04] COULD GIVE YOU 15 SPEECHES THAT
[000:04:20;26] HE MADE, THOUGH I DON'T THINK
[000:04:22;07] YOU WOULD ENJOY THEM THAT MUCH,
[000:04:23;21] I COULD GIVE YOU 15 SPEECHES
[000:04:24;20] THAT HE TALKED ABOUT BORDER
[000:04:25;27] SECURITY, NO DIFFERENT THAN ME,
[000:04:28;22] BORDER SECURITY.
[000:04:29;28] ELSE THAT
[000:04:30;29] THAT'S ALL HE TALKED ABOUT IS
[000:04:31;24] BORDER SECURITY, THE ONLY REASON
[000:04:33;04] THEY'RE AGAINST IT IS BECAUSE I
[000:04:34;16] WON THE PRESIDENCY AND THEY
[000:04:36;09] THINK THEY CAN TRY AND HURT US
[000:04:37;06] GOING INTO THE PRESIDENCY, BUT
[000:04:38;24] THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
[000:04:40;01] AND WE DON'T GIVE UP.
[000:04:40;25] BECAUSE WE ARE DOING, WE ARE
[000:04:42;19] DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR
[000:04:46;23] COUNTRY.
[000:04:47;03] OKAY?
[000:04:47;12] >> MR. PRESIDENT IF ILLEGAL
[000:04:49;01] IMMIGRATION AT THE BORDER HAS
[000:04:50;11] GONE DOWN WHY, IS IT --
[000:04:51;10] >> YOU KNOW WHY IT'S GONE DOWN?
[000:04:53;24] BECAUSE OF GOOD MANAGEMENT.
[000:04:54;18] BECAUSE OF ME.
[000:04:55;10] AND MY PEOPLE.
[000:04:56;11] BECAUSE WE HAVE MANAGED IT WELL.
[000:04:58;05] >> BUT THEN WHY IS IT A CRISIS?
[000:05:00;13] >> IT IS BRUTAL.
[000:05:01;07] WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE COMING UP
[000:05:02;18] YOU HAVE CARAVANS, NOBODY EVER
[000:05:04;12] HEARD OF A CARAVAN IT'S GONE
[000:05:05;14] DOWN AND WE HAVE KEPT IT DOWN
[000:05:07;04] BECAUSE WE'RE MANAGING IT WELL,
[000:05:10;13] BUT WE CAN NEVER DO A GREAT JOB,
[000:05:11;05] UNLESS WE HAVE A WALL, OR A
[000:05:12;17] BARRIER, AND I MEAN A REAL
[000:05:13;28] BARRIER, NOT IS A LITTLE BARRIER
[000:05:16;06] THAT DOESN'T WORK.
[000:05:16;25] AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, BUT
[000:05:18;28] IT IS ONLY DOWN BECAUSE WE DO A
[000:05:21;20] GREAT JOB AND WE WORK VERY HARD
[000:05:23;03] AT IT AND I HAVE INCREDIBLE
[000:05:24;13] PEOPLE BORDER PATROL PEOPLE,
